Security Certificates in Anyware Agents

PCoIP requires a certificate to establish a session. By default, Anyware agents generate a self-signed certificate that secures the PCoIP session. Each component in the PCoIP system can generate these self-signed certificates, which will automatically work together without requiring any configuration.

Installing the Private Key and Certificate on the Anyware agent Desktop

The agent certificate and signing certificate must be installed on each desktop running a Anyware agent.

To install the agent certificate and signing certificate:

1. Open the Microsoft Management Console on the agent machine:

Installing the Internal Root CA Certificate in a Anyware client

Your root CA certificate must be installed in any Anyware client that will be used to connect to the Anyware agent.

Creating And Installing Custom Certificates

This section describes how to replace HP's default certificates with your own custom certificates.

Configuring the Agent Certificate Mode

The Anyware Agent chooses a certificate based on the parameters set in the Configure PCoIP Security Certificate Settings GPO variable.

Since Anyware agents automatically generate and use self-signed certificates by default, you only need to configure the Configure PCoIP Security Certificate Settings GPO variable if you are deploying your own custom certificates.

Configuring the Number of Displays with Non-GRID-Compatible GPUs

When using non-GRID GPUs in virtualized workstation virtual machine using vSphere Client, you must specify the number of displays the virtual machine will use. You can do this when you first create the virtual machine or at any time afterwards.
